~ Easy Frost Chocolate Fudge Cake ~

I made this cake for my granddaughter's 14th birthday. She, along with the rest of my family, are all chocoholics so it was a hit! It's so easy to do and fun too ~ the "Easy Frost" was simple and tasty also. You can frost cupcakes in a hurry as well as cakes, etc.

I just used the recipe on the box of cake mix, however, I normally add brewed coffee as part of the water required and the rest milk. Just offers a more "real" taste I think. I also used a fudge frosting for each of the layers...except the top. My kitchen is sooooo small....it is difficult to make pictures that are attractive. I think that most of you that know me realize I forget to make pictures too! Still haven't gotten in the swing of it ~ :-)

I used the Wilton 6" cake pans for this and sliced each cake layer into 2 pieces. Made a tall cake. Oh yes, I did slice off those tops to even the cake layers as well as get rid of the ugly parts. Those, with left over frosting, made a small piece for Mimi to taste. And yes, those are dog treats in the background! The onions on the right are for a savory dish....sorry they are there.Here we are....just beginning the frosting process:

Before you know it, you're finished! Oh, and I forgot to place one of those pretty, lacy doilies under the cake. I was in a hurry...but I did get a few photos! :-)

What do you think? Ready to try this yourself? I highly recommend you do ~

Oh My Word~This looks divine!LOVE the striped frosting!Coffee in the chocolate cake...genius!I would LOVE to get my fingers into that icing!Love it Pat!I know your granddaughter did too~I LOVE 6 inch cakes!I like tiny tall cakes...like this!I really want a piece of this...and Doogan wants a doggie~treat! ;o)Hugs from Bainbridge!Such a HAPPY cake!And I know it was WAY~FUN to decorate!xo

Okay, that cake is out of control!Wow, What a presentation! This would be a perfect addition to my Cast Party Wednesday! Would you mind coming over and sharing some of your recipes with us?Thanks,I hope to see you there!

HOLY YUMMY! Pat, this is truly the last thing I need to see. Thanks so much for all your nice comments while I was gone. When you mentioned Crystal beach I was blown away, you were there. That is my fondest memory of childhood. I was wondering your connection to Buffalo, and now I know.

I know it's not polite to drool but this looks fantastic! I would like to follow that wonderful shrimp and mango salad with a huge honkin piece of this cake. Extra frosting on mine please?! I have added coffee to my brownie mixes in place of water but I've never thought to add it to my cake mixes...or to add milk either. What a great idea!

Hi Pat,I am so excited about this new product, I am out here in the country so I depend on all of you to keep me up to date at the latest goodies. Your cake looks awesome, I can't wait to try this recipe. Hope you are staying cool! Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope you will come back again real soon. Have a great week!Miz Helen

Pat that looks so YUM! I think I would be the kind to skip the cake and just eat the frosting right from the can... sort of like that cheese that comes in can... high class, right?P.S. my dog wants to come share the jar of treats with your dog.

Yummy! That looks too good. I forgot to tell you earlier that I'm following you too now. Thanks for your sweet comment and your follow, fellow Texan! I live just a jump north of you in New Braunfels. :)

It makes my Heart happy to hear from you! Thank you so much for taking the time to say hello. I want to respond to each comment, however, if you are a "no reply blogger" I can't. Would love to have an email address to contact you!
